20 June 2007

JAIPUR — A tiger cub, injured last month and returned to its mother after forest officials nursed it back to health, has been found dead in Rajasthan's Ranthambore National Park.

“The dead body of the cub was found around 10am on Monday while forest guards were on their routine tracking exercise in Khandar range of the park," said Sudarshan Sharma, a forest official. He said the cub was the same that along with two others had fallen into a dry 20 ft step well in the park on May 23.
